About the Block 5K
The Block 5K starts and finishes at The Block Jacksonville, a venue that doubles as the post-race gathering spot. The course runs through Jacksonville and comes back to the same place it left, so the finish area has a real anchor to it. Live music plays throughout the morning, which gives the whole thing an outdoor-event feel rather than a purely athletic one.
The start and finish are both at The Block Jacksonville, so everything centers on that one location. Dogs are welcome on the shorter distance, which means the start area will likely have a few four-legged participants mixed in with the crowd.
